The Zetec is a strong little engine with great potential.
2.2s shaved from a 75HP dry shot of nitrous is really good.
Considering most Hondas only see ~1.5s from a 75HP wet shot.
I've said it before and I'll say it again, the custom burned chip was well worth the money.
Can't wait to get my TB optomized and the Eram ordered.
Then I'll be going back to get new dyno runs (which I'll post) and reburn my chip.
Hopefully I'll be in the 13's.
Long live the "Z"!
A few side notes about my times;
1) mid 16.7's was average for my 3 runs OFF the bottle.
2) mid 14.5's was average for my 3 runs ON the bottle.

Yeah I had a Z, was fine. But, what do you Z'ers think of the new 2.3L DOHC engine coming to replace it? 170 HP w/o a turbo and should kick Honda is the a$$. It's now in the 2003 Ranger and Mazda 6i. And please, no "Pinto engine" comments. The Duratec v6 only has a bad water pump before 1999, and it is now upgraded, in the Mazda 6s with 220HP. Should be in the C/D338 "Tauri/Contour replacement" for 2005, also.

the pinto was bad but the 2.3 they used was rather good.... I think the new 2.3 will be a good replacement for the Zetec.

Whats with the Pinto 2.3?
Pinto's came with either the English 1.6 (Pushrod) or the German 2.0 (SOHC). The German 2.0 was pretty hot at the time. The Pinto sucked, but not the engine. Those engines are still used in racing. You can get some serious HP out of them. The 2.3 IIRC, came later. The Mustang II was using them. I had a new 88 Taurus with the 2.3. All of 90 HP. Tranny dissolved at 59000 miles and the head gasket started leaking shortly after. Was a company leased car and about 60% of the Taurus' failed the tranny or head gasket (1987 and 88 models). Sucky motor...
Tempo used it too.

the pinto did use a 2.3 as well as the SVO mustang... and I know a few in the chicago area with 2.3 SVO pushing over 300 rear wheel HP the motors in the SVO is almost built proof.
